lolol pots and kettles and all that shit yeah? didn't your parents "sell property" to pay college? at face value that sounds like a desperate move, but then my parents never owned extra property to sell when they needed cash.

My parent's mortgage is 1200 a month, and our electricity and water bills are high as well. Most of the flexiable money my parents have is spent on vacations or trinkets. They are only paying for half my schooling, as I agreed I would payoff the other half when I'm done. And now that my brother intends on going to an out-of-state school, they will have less money to spend on leisures.

Also, not to mention that my dad recently moved out. My mom is a nurse, she makes around 50k, but that is not enough to cover the house, vehicles and bills on her own. If my dad completely stops his support it would be a bad situation and I would likely drop college by choice and take up a job instead. I only went to college because my parents expected me to, not because I wanted to.

And in all honesty, I only wrote that because I couldn't think of anything else. I've already experienced the upper middle-class :/

He left a note on the table, and left early one morning without telling us beforehand. He visited on christmas but that's about it. When confronted he said that he felt more like a roommate than husband, and thus decided he needed some time away from my mom for a while because he didn't feel loved. So now my mom is a wreck and talking to relatives is awkward because most don't know it happened. It's not a divorce, but it sure feels like one.
